Happy Christmas! Bah Humbug!
My apologies for the delay in posting Happy Christmas wishes but we do not celebrate so its a bit two faced but I genuinely hope you all got what you deserved especially Marge and Annie & Rosie! Lou & I decided years ago not to buy presents for each other particularly as we are in the Car Boot business; there is nothing worse than buying a pressy for say fifty quid only to find the same item being sold for a fiver at one of our sales. It is nice to receive the cards and thank you but please save…News updates!
Ground conditions are very poor at all of our grassed locations with Mitchell, MABE, Lanhydrock and LONG ROCK suffering the most. We would like to think that all grounds will be ready for the early Easter in 2013 but it all depends on the weather despite the fact that some Landlords invest in ensuring their grounds are in top condition. SUNDAY 18th November at TRURO was a good sunny day and puddles galore did not put off 80 sellers and over 1200 people attended this Car Boot Sale with BARGAINS galore and stalls recorded very good takings one seller reporting…Remember this story? Friday 12th October;
Only 17 sellers but the locals and regular buyers supported the few. Stall were charged a fiver and buyers were free. During a coffee break I was sitting in the car with Lou when I noticed 2 men walking back to their car parked near the clubhouse. One of them picked something up from the ground which I thought looked like a purse and I said to Lou 'I cannot be certain but I think that man might have picked a purse up' I decided not to say anything to the man but as a precaution Lou got out of…Sunday at TRURO and gossip!
What a lovely day Sunday turned our to be with the Car Boot Sale held on the hard standing with 70 sellers and a turnout of just over 1000 men women & kids. Some stall reported excellent takings and there were some great bargains with lots of happy buyers. We have been told time and again that parents are buying their Christmas presents for the kids at our sales which saves fortunes especially if you are buying for more than two children who will show just as much appreciation as if you have spent £££s more in the shops. The…Dog Wars and a GRUMPY old sod!
You always get one who wants to have a groan about something and Mr Fart-Face was no exception on Sunday when he wanted all dogs banned from Car Boot Sales, if he had left it at just dogs he may have had a sympathetic hearing but no, "then I would ban all pushchairs and get this 'disabled wheelchairs' as well!! Outrageous thoughts! Although he said this with tongue in cheek he seriously meant every word but his dear wife saved the day by telling him to SHUT UP! and he did!! WIMP! Stick to your guns mate come and face…I would sooner have a HENRY!!
Dig & Delve 1990s We had some fantastic years in our second-hand shop in Falmouth especially with the local student population who relied on the shop to provide their requirements for flats and bedsits right on the doorstep of the Falmouth College. At the start of the season they would buy with plenty of money and the end of the season they would bring it back ‘skint’ and try to sell back to us. Dig & Delve (Diggies) sold everything from furniture to a complete range of household essentials, pots and pans and electrical items which had all been safety…CAR BOOTS CORNWALL & Rosudgeon Cricket Club
CARBOOTSCORNWALL & Rosudgeon Cricket Club; For several weeks a private business firm have carried out a Business Appraisal for CAR BOOTS CORNWALL and reported on Car Boot Sales organised by ourselves, they also included the Rosudgeon Cricket Club in the report and an offer was made to Rosudgeon on behalf of Car Boots Cornwall & Roseworthy Farms/LTC Catering to sponsor the Cricket Club for 3 years for the sum of £30,000.00 (thirty thousand pounds) for Car Boots Cornwall to join Rosudgeon to their group and run the weekly Sales at Rosudgeon similar to our other 9 location, the offer further…We are having a Domestic
We are having a domestic! WITHOUT VIOLENCE! Two weeks ago at Newquay I parked a couple of regulars and was surprised that Mrs Seller had brought Mr Seller to do a stall because the last time they ended up swearing and slamming as I watched the ‘body language’ and the ‘don’t let the neighbours hear our hushed fall-out row’ Within 10 minutes of starting I walked to their car and she is sitting in the passenger’s seat with a ‘face like a fart’ on her. Because I know and really like this woman and her old man they also like…Lost property?
This was handed to me at Truro last week as lost property althought me thinks I might be on the end of a wind-up here? Today at TRURO whilst only 32 stalls was well recieved by all those loyal supporters of CBC who were rewarded with some great bargains. Yesterday at Falmouth was another rotten day spoilt by bad forecast and promised rains so Lou was in charge and let the sale go ahead with only 11 BRAVE sellers. One of the sellers told me today they had taken just over seventy quid! Thank you to all those who braved…Look to the future my lovers! 2013 times and places so far;
